In life, unfortunately it’s generally accepted that math sucks; For all of us who aren’t scientist, doctors, or mathematicians. There have been numerous times where doing math has broken the will of a young adult, sucking the life out of the youngster with every theorem or function that involves numbers. Doing math is sort of like watching Beauty and the Beast, the only problem is that Beauty and the Beast had nothing to do with math, which is why it’s a Disney classic. Then again, there has to be some equation(s) out there that actually makes me smile instead of thinking of ways to never look at a number again.

Even though knowing the quadratic formula won’t be useful until a serial killer runs up to you and is all like “TELL ME THE QUADRATIC FORMULA OR ELSE I’M GONNA MURDER THE SHIT OUT OF YOU SON”, that doesn’t mean that you can’t find out a lot by using it in everyday life. Fortunately, there are some equations out there that don’t conjure up bad memories of wetting myself during a math test, and I’ve got them here! So let’s take a look at the wonderful (and useful) equations that make life a little more worth living.
